A lot of household names earn their status because the stars are beautiful, sexy, cast in roles in which they deliver great lines. One household name may not include characteristics of great beauty or indomitable sex appeal, but the gifts he brought to the silver screen are unparalleled. Bela Lugosi is the name. You recognized it immediately, didn't you?You saw Bela Lugosi pictures in your mind, or you heard the classic staccato 'I vahnt-to suck-your blud.'Or you might have gone over all the films this definitive star made in his career of acting in over 109 movies over forty-two years.
Interesting, too, are the Bela Lugosi trivia:
Bela Lugosi ran away from home (and a strict father) at the age of eleven.
Lugosi's jobs'besides acting'included mining, working the railroad, and working for the army (which he got out of by successfully feigning mental illness).
Bela Lugosi began acting not in films but on stage, in Shakespearean roles, when he was a young man in Hungary (where he was born, in all places, Transylvania).
